Australia's favourite game, Wheel of Fortune!

The Olympics Torch relay has now gone to Bokarina!

Today's contestants:
Anne Halees
Ken Ray
Gabrielle Coutts (returning with around $2,000 in prizes)

The top-dollar value on the Wheel is 750, and here's our first puzzle.

Round 1

TITLE

ANNE	Ken	Gabrielle
120: R Lucky R! 130: T (x3) -50: A (x2) 150: X Solve: Correct!
470

TITLE

Perfection! Anne solves GREAT EXPECTATIONS.

She was expecting trouble if she spun again. Why not stop now and grab a Hills Industries trampoline, a $400 Roger David clothing voucher, or Korjo travel accessories?

Anne grabs the clothing voucher.

Anne	Ken	Gabrielle
470
$400 clothing

Here's a Puzzler for the home audience. Can you solve it?

Puzzler A

SPORT

The answer is VOLLEYBALL. That was easy.

It was not as easy to guess that this would be our BONUS: a collection of 6 Trevor Opray prints from Country Looks-Healesville.

The top-dollar value is increased to 1,500.

Round 2

CLUE

Anne	KEN	Gabrielle
	430: T (x5) 530: H (x2) 150: S (x2) -50: E (x5) -50: A (x2) 530: N (x3) Solve: Correct!
	1,540

CLUE

Double perfection! Ken solves THE NEAREST PLANET TO THE SUN. Let's widen that lead with 200 more by answering the clue!

He knows the nearest planet is Mercury.

Let's pull back into orbit so that Ken can collect a prize of his own. He'll find a $500 Bunnings voucher, a men's watch from Coinwatch, and a Schott Zwiesel glassware set.

Ken picks the hardware voucher.

Gabrielle has been waiting too long. It's time to play!

Round 3

PHRASE

Anne	Ken	GABRIELLE
		230: T 385: R 430: S (DUD!)
		615
BANKRUPT! (0)	BANKRUPT! (0)	375: N (x2) -50: E (x2) BONUS: B (DUD!)

		2,070

PHRASE

Gabrielle solves ONE HIT WONDER.

She didn't come here just to win one game. Gabrielle now has the lead, and she now has a Mikasa dinner set, a Tosca luggage collection, or a Minelab metal detector.

Gabrielle wants the luggage.

Anne	Ken	Gabrielle
470	1,740	2,070
$400 clothing	$500 hardware	Luggage

Here's another Puzzler for the home audience. Can you solve it?

Puzzler B

The answer is BELGIUM.

The top-dollar value is now 2,500!

Round 4

NAME

ANNE	Ken	Gabrielle
295: T (DUD!)	595: S (x2) 770: R (x2) 295: N (DUD!)	295: M (DUD!)
	1,365
295: N (Repeat)

NAME

RRRIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIINNNNGGGG!

We're a lot slower than the first half, and now Rob will give the Wheel a spin. Consonants are worth 2,500!

Ken: L (DUD!)
Gabrielle: B (DUD!)
Anne: D (2,500)
Ken: H (DUD!)
Gabrielle: F (DUD!)
Anne: W (DUD!)
Ken: P (3,865)

NAME

Ken solves JURASSIC PERIOD.

Once again, we're a bit young for these puzzles. At least Ken's a winner of an AEG dishwasher, a 1-week Gold Coast holiday, or an Stanley Rogers 88-piece cutlery set.

Rob drops his card before Ken asks for the Gold Coast holiday.

Anne	Ken	Gabrielle
2,970	5,605	2,070
$400 clothing	$500 hardware Gold Coast	Luggage

The consolation prizes are Spotters sunglasses and Parker Pens.

Gabrielle leaves with her prizes from both shows.

BONUS ROUND:

Ken doesn't have millions of years, but maybe millions of nanoseconds to win one of these prizes:

Lady's and gent's golf clubs

Holiday in Victoria

Prouds jewellery selection ($4,000)

4-night Great Barrier Reef cruise ($5,560)
Proton Satria XLI ($17,290)

And now you can try for a $6,000 cash Jackpot! Plus we now have six car wedges available!

With 5,605, Ken falls just short with four consonants and a vowel. The Golden Wheel spins, and lands on...

4-night Great Barrier Reef cruise

OCCUPATION

We hope TSNR, and E will get him home.

OCCUPATION

"I will have a NEUROSURGEON", and he wins the cruise! He has won $8,410 in prizes and will return tomorrow!
